Oooh, coming in to work on a Saturday, huh? Only because I knew YOU were going to! Well, I'm not gonna be the only one who works regular hours! Well, I haven't been home in two months! This is a curious era on the earth planet …

I haven't finished reading a novel since my son was born. Taking care of him leaves me no time for any of my old hobbies. So I'm coming up with new hobbies he and I can do together. That makes sense. Today's hobby is going to be "Hide and Seek." I'll take about an hour to find him just so he'll think he's doing a great job hiding. How long does it take you to read a chapter in a novel? I don't see what that has to do with anything.

Well, you've wasted another perfectly good hour here on Car Talk. We want to thank Ed the bartender in Florida, and even though we couldn’t fix his blender, we want to tell him … Don’t drink like my brother. Don’t drink like my brother.

Jeremy and I went out every night at the beach. Same with me and David. Blrrng. Ok, mom. I'll be right there! And how about the parties?! Nonstop. Sorry! Gotta go. You didn't need to come home for another hour. Oh, yes I did.

Rosa's frustrated by my timidity. And I don’t blame her. I'm a total whimp. She said I should stop planning everything. That I should be more bold and spontaneous. So I've been lying here for the past hour thinking about how to do that.

I'm here for my 10:00 appointment to see Dr. Jay … Sure. Just sign in and we'll call you back when we feel we've shown a sufficient and utter lack of respect for your time … What's the over n' under? Two hours. I'll take the over. Wise.

How's your job with Melodee Manezon? Great. She wants me to keep working for her. She does? Oh … Look, I know you want more "us" time - so do I. But a job at the Moony Uni theater department? I can't let that go. Quill, there are only so many hours in a day. You gotta let something go. Or someone ... True. I sure hope TJ won't mind.

Are you about through looking at yarn? Not yet. If I have to spend another hour in this yarn store I'm going to strangle myself with one of these. Don’t even joke about that, Earl! That's genuine Vicuna wool.

Feudalbanc Massacard, this is Carol Ann, how may ah help yew, sugah? Oh, thank God, last time I was stuck talking to someone in Indonesia. Oh I know just what yew mean, like one tam, I was tryin' ta get ta Jacksonville an' I took the wrong plane. Fell asleep, an' when I woke up, wouldja believe I was lookin' at the Eiffel Tower? Well all I wanted in the whole world was to talk to a real live Amurican right about then. That brings to mind a funny story. Take about an hour ta tell it right. Could you transfer me to someone in Indonesia?

You're late, Rudy. That's setting a bad example for the other employees. What other employees? Don't change the subject. You need to be a better role model. To that end, I've enrolled you in the best manager-training course in the nation. It'll only cost you $40 an hour. The teacher wouldn't happen to be you, would it? Don't change the subject.

"Stupid arguments" are the most important. But a parking spot? Dr. Noodle. Yes. She yelled at me for two hours! She felt belittled. If a parking spot is within ten feet of a hydrant, it's not a spot! It's a ticket-trap! She doesn’t understand these things! I parked right across the street, where I was more comfortable. What's wrong with that?! When you told her "that's not a spot," she heard "you're a woman, you don't know what you're talking about. Well tell her to use the English-to-English dictionary, not the English-to-history-of-gender-inequality dictionary.

It's night-night time, buddy. But I don't wanna thleep. We all have to do things we don't want to do. For instance … I don't want to spend four hours every night trying to get my child to go to sleep. But I do it, because I'm supposed to. Well then I may have an idea for you that'th win-win.
